I have following message in the dmesg So I mailed Carlos Corbacho regarding the acer-wmi and following was his response > 2) I see the following message in my dmesg at the time of booting > > acer-wmi: Acer Laptop ACPI-WMI Extras > acer-wmi: Unable to detect available WMID devices This looks like a bug in acer-wmi - AFAICT, it should be able to cope with your laptop. Something with the supported device auto-detection is failing (the DSDT looks a bit weird compared to the ones I'm used to, but AFAICT, everything should be supported). How recent a kernel are you running - does /sys/class/wmi exist, and what's the contents of that directory if it does? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
